The refurbished QMH2672 16Gb FC HBA is a dual channel Fibre Channel mezzanine card that provides reliable, high-performance connectivity at 8Gb/s or 16Gb/s. This is a Type A mezzanine card for HP BladeSystem c-Class that is compatible with HP ProLiant Server blades starting with Gen8. All HP 8 Gb and 16 Gb Fibre Channel Interconnects for BladeSystem c-Class are supported by the QMH2672. It is optimized for HP and is also supported by third-party SAN vendors.

The HP BladeSystem c7000 Platinum Enclosure is required to permit 16Gb/s speed. Other HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosures and HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosures will have a maximum speed of 8Gb/s.

• Performance Optimized - Capable of delivering twice the data throughput (MB/s) compared to 8Gb FC HBAs & High link speed combined with larger data block sizes results in improved application performance
• Virtualization Optimized - Ideal for high density server virtualization environments, Enables more applications and Virtual Machines to run on a single server and Fibre Channel port, resulting in reduced cabling and a higher return on IT investment. 
• Power Optimized - Latest generation technology saves power & Reduced number of components on each FC HBA reduces overall power consumption. 
• RAS Optimized - Highest Data Integrity; Overlapping Protection Domains (OPD) extended for control and data paths. 
• Security Optimized - SAN-level authentication (FC-SP), fabric-level isolation (NPIV and end-to-end data integrity (T10)
• Management Optimized - Unified driver model eliminates potential interoperability issues between firmware and driver versions and reduces upgrade time & Common drivers for 16Gb8Gb and 4Gb
• Fault tolerant HBA Architecture
• Two 16Gb/s Fibre Channel ports
• 16/8- automatic speed negotiation without throttling down to the external SAN speed
• Multi-Path support for redundant HBAs and paths including Linux driver failover.
